Both are forms of intellectual property, giving the creator (or other rightsholder) the exclusive right to use them or authorize others to do so. Beyond that, they are quite different: copyright protection exists to allow creators to ascribe value to their works, and is available for a limited time; trademark law exists to protect consumers from fraud, and protection is perpetual for as long as the mark is in use.

∙ 11y agoTrademark law protects marks used in trade: company names and logos, product names and logos, slogans, and more. It is similar to copyright because they are both types of intellectual property, but it is different in several ways. The intent of copyright is to protect the rights of the creators, but the intent of trademark is to protect consumers from fraudulent products. Copyright protection is for a limited time, but trademarks can be protected in perpetuity as long as they are in use.
